Anthony Cumia Is Mentally Unstable

[sailor]

i bet you like big guns

Hey!

[Bob Impact]

Because you are using deadly force. If you aren't being threatened with serious injury, you can't justify using deadly force.
If you are threatened with a slap in the face, is deadly force necessary to protect yourself? Besides using deadly force to protect yourself creates risks for others, if the driver shot and missed he doesn't control where that bullet goes.

Fair, and to a large extent I agree with you in the car, however, the fact of the matter is that all of those questions are easy to ask afterward but in that moment it's about a split second decision where you get one chance to answer correctly. No matter what his intention was at the end of the day the guy reaching into the car is making an aggressive action. I personally would not be waiting around to see precisely what he's going to do before I react, I'm going to handle it as swiftly as possible. Now in that case if I was the guy in the car I can pretty much guarantee that I wouldn't start shooting, and I agree that firing a gun in what i assume was a reasonably panicked state is tremendously unsafe but that doesn't change the fact that the guy who got shot started the aggression.

Now, in my house? Absolutely not. If you're walking in without my invitation and I don't know you I will assume that you are a physical threat to me and my family and i'm going to do whatever I need to do to remove that threat immediately.

[angrymissy]

House, yes, absolutely. Dude reaching into passenger side of your car? ehhh. I could see pulling a gun, yes, that would probably be enough to stop him, but shooting immediately is a bit much.

[Chigworthy]

Where does it say he shot immediately? (I only read the link Serpico posted) Maybe Grabby McAsshole started to reach for Nervous Pete's gun.

[angrymissy]

The article I read not linked from here (have to find it) said he shot him right after he reached into the passenger window. If he made a grab for the gun then I find it justifable.

[Serpico1103]

Where does it say he shot immediately? (I only read the link Serpico posted) Maybe Grabby McAsshole started to reach for Nervous Pete's gun.

I am not saying Grabby McAsshole didn't deserve to get shot. Grabby was in control of the situation. He exited his car. He approached the Nervous Pete's car. He reached into the car. Fuck him.
My reasons for being against lax gun laws isn't for sympathy towards a wrong doer who gets shoot. It is out of fear of innocents, bystanders or incorrectly perceived threats, being shot and the repercussions the gun owner will face when the shooting was unnecessary; criminal, emotional, and civil.
Almost no gun owner is trained how to use a weapon in a crisis situation. Our police are poorly trained for crisis situations, civilians most definitely are.

[Serpico1103]

That's not a gun, genius.


Do you really think Sirius would allow that?

I guess it is a gun, dummy.
Someone who is often on the show, said Anthony does carry in the Sirius building.

[StanUpshaw]

Does anyone have a link to that porn clip where a group of black guys are fucking a white girl, then one of them stuffs his balls into her asshole and yells "booya!"



This seems like the best thread for a request like that.

[benjamin]

Used to love this guy to the point he was basically my favorite comedian.
Some of his bits were and are still the funniest things I've ever heard.
Maybe the best impressionist when he wants to be.
But I had to stop caring after all the racist shit.
It hurt and I miss the show but I can still catch the good bits on youtube.

My advice: stop giving a fuck about this guy.
I did, and it feels GGGRRREAT!!!!

[angrytruckingguy]

Is it just me or during the interview w/ Russell Simmons did Anthony kinda hint around and then back off of the ever-ignored and stepped-around fact that after centuries and trillions in aid, that these African nations still can't get it together?

[angrytruckingguy]

I meant "after existing for centuries and receiving trillions in aid- they still can't get their shit together". He brought it up and Simmons side-stepped it. And you'll notice everyone who advocates aid for these nations gives the same crap about hunger, lack of education, warlords......what about personal responsibility? Anyone know the true story of Liberia?

What you're missing here is the effect of colonialism and slavery on Africa. Colonialism completely disrupted the natural order. Slavery took away many that would have become Africa's best and brightest. It may seem like a long time ago, but the last colonies existed into the 1950's. I know we'd like to, but you just can't ignore this stuff.

Oh, come on. 50 years is plenty of time to undo centuries of slavery and lack of education.

It's not just mental, but it's truly sad that Anthony cannot, without fail, cannot resist his go-to crutch schticks. Even when they're not even warranted. I dare anyone to mention anything remotely resembling the word monkey, or ape, or the movie planet of the apes, or chimp without him hitting the bell and adding in that horrendous fake heh-heh-heh-heh laugh. No one can mention Jersey without a Godfather reference. No one named Mike or Bill or Lou can call. The list could go on and on. The sad thing about it is, I can't imagine it stops when the mikes are off. I mean, wouldn't you even get tired of hearing yourself do the same lame jokes and references over and over again? It's like a 5 year old that makes the noise that makes the adults laugh and since he got a laugh once, he just does it over and over again until it's so fucking annoying you have to tell him to stop.

Yeah, and the Vikings took all the hot chicks from England. It didn't stop them from colonizing the planet. I guess it did leave them with fucked up teeth and ugly faces, but still, they pulled it all together in the long run.

That stuff annoys me to hell too. I thought I was the only one. I don't even know the references for Bill, Lou, and Mike, which I guess makes it worse. I was glad when Steve left so I could stop hearing the gay "yess" thing that he and Jim do, but no, they still do it. Listening to any talk radio is both the funniest and most frustrating thing one can do. That's why we simultaneously obsess and hate. Anthony and Jimmy are two of the funniest people on the planet, but sometimes two of the most annoying as well.

Im sure they have a certain number of guaranteed sick days in their contract. If thats the case its nobodys business when he takes one or for what reason.

[foodcourtdruide]

You should tell them that when they spent an entire summer bitching about how many days Stern was taking off when he first went to Sirius.

Yes, but contracts usually specify SICK days , as to personal days. To call in sick, then head to AC to booze it up, might make management a little suspicious.Now if he took a personal day to go to AC, then it WASNT their business, but Op said that morning, Ant was calling in sick.

I guess I just look at it like a sick day and a personal day are the same thing. If he doesnt want to go to work, and hes allowed a certain number of call outs a year, he shouldnt have to prove anything to his bosses if he decides to call out.


And its not even close the the same situation as Stern who works 4 days a week without using sick days.

[TripleSkeet]

No you miss understood him. That was just Skeets knee-jerk "Union" reaction.

Im hardly a union backer. I cant stand most unions. But when you have a cotract their are rules agreed to by both parties. As long as you play by the rules of the contract the employer should have nothing to say.

[Death Metal Moe]

I just wanted to add something to this thread since I saw it topped.

I can't tell you how fucking nice it is to just not have to put up with Anthony's bullshit. When they say "Just tune out" they are correct.

I don't miss the O&A show and I especially don't miss O&A. When I have time to hear R&F live during my days I turn it off at 2:58.

[CurseoftheBambi]

^
|_______________ that's the smile of a man with peace:clap:.

[Death Metal Moe]

At 1st I was posting in this thread because I was upset that the show had become something I didn't like anymore and wanted to vent. But then I stopped listening and I was still coming in this thread and complaining. Just trying to be honest with myself here, but I guess that was when I was just mad. It's not worth it though. The show changed. Some fans like it, some don't and move on. I moved on.

I'll still talk about the O&A show if it comes up and I still have a lot of the old WNEW bits in my iPod. You know, those old bits we were all trading while O&A were off the air for like 2 years?

But the current show isn't something I want to hear, so I just don't. I don't listen, I don't complain about it and I don't ruin other fan's appreciation of the show that they still love. Everybody's happy and no unnecessary jabber jawing has to go on.

[IamFogHat]

So I just listened to the show from last week that Louis was on and at the end he kind of let it slip that Ant lost $200,000 at blackjack recently. I don't even know how to comprehend that.

[DavidBrentsEgo]

I subscribed to XM because of O&A, I was stoned a long time ago and was absolutely mesmerized by the honesty of the show, and when ron and fez were given the golden ticket it was like even more of an awakening to how good radio could actually be. I have praised Anthony for as long as I can, I still love the guy, but for him to embrace Danny and think anything of his sense of humor is absolutely appauling to me, i'm am actually feeling love towards Opie, and now Ron and Fez is my primary concern on the channel, Jimmy and Ant still make me laugh a lot but for Ant to have any faith at all in Danny makes me think he responds well to ASSKISSING! Sam Roberts is the only producer with talent on that show and Ronnie B is clearly the king of that station even though he won't admit it! Pepper Hicks is awesome too!
sincerely, DAVIDBRENTSEGO post number 1

Good Points by all...I seen one Live from the Compound show with ant, and i liked it...

[CurseoftheBambi]

Ant needs to do a combo Live From The Compound show with Charlie Sheen so they could blow t hemselves up. and i dont mean in the good way.

I'll still talk about the O&A show if it comes up and I still have a lot of the old WNEW bits in my iPod. You know, those old bits we were all trading while O&A were off the air for like 2 years?

Unfornately its very hard for me to listen to those shows anymore because of a lot of factors but these are the ones that come to mind mostly.

1) Anything to do with race that was funny back then i look at it that ant really was a racist douche not just making jokes.

2) they were more funnier then than now and they became everything they stated they hated.

3) they were hypocrites back then while saying they were the more honest guys they actually did howard like tactics to other shows.

4) ant's a douche. norton is douchey.

5) they cant do the bits they used to do.

6) they don't have the supporting cast that made the "O&A" show famous...it wasn't just O&A it was Rick, Stinky, Spaz, Psycho Mark, Old Dirty, Patti, Retarded Laverne and SHirley, Stinky, and assorted guests and hangers on that made the show...it wasn't just O&A..now that is what we got...it stinks...and bobo...isn't Spaz...he's worse.

Hey man I completely agree. Sometimes people ruin even your fond memories of themselves. For me, I can still listen to older O&A bits and laugh. I really do find Anthony funny. I wish things hadn't changed so drastically or I'd still be listening. And to be fair, it's not JUST Anthony, although out of the 3 main on air people, their staff and whoever is on air that day, it's at least 50% Anthony that is the problem, at least for me.

Good Points by all...I seen one Live from the Compound show with ant, and i liked it...

I agree, I used to tune into Live from the Compound shows. The one where he had Jimmy on for the 1st time was amazingly funny. Anthony can be very funny, that's what makes this all the more frustrating. He's a guy you know has the potential to make you laugh, he just chooses not to at this point.

[Death Metal Moe]

And don't beat up on his "chick of the moment" too much. He's got money and women love money. It's easy for him to get just about anyone he wants. I'm not interesting in shit like that but hey, I'll probably never be in the position either so I guess it's easy to "Hate" on him.

Which is perfectly normal and rational behavior. Not to leave out that the whole thing was because he was mad at a caller who wasn't talking back.

Which actually turned out to be Ant's fault on his end.

So yeah... he's perfectly sane.

Poor Anthony. I wish I could get angry about having to have to pay $40k in property taxes a year from my $5,000,000/ year salary.

Even at $40k he's only paying 0.8% of his gross salary toward his property tax. The tax itself is only 1.3% of his property value.

My property tax is 8% of my salary (about $50k), and is 2.5% of my property value (about $160k).

So fuck Anthony Cumia. He can suck my balls.

When they say Nassau County has the nation's highest property taxes, it's probably because they have the most high-value properties per square mile in the country, so the total $ amount is high. Shit needs to be viewed in context, and guys like Anthony are great at disregarding context.

I did a quick google search to see if I could find their salaries. From what I found, as of '06 they were making $5 mil / yr each on a three year contract (XM apparently matched their Infinity contracts). Unless they took a pay cut post-merger, which wouldn't surprise me actually, I'd imagine they should still be making somewhere in that ballpark.

Amazing - $5 million to just sit and bullshit all day. God must hate me :down:

I'm paying nearly $12K a year in property taxes here in glamorous NJ, so I'm over 1/4 of the way to what Anthony's paying. And, I don't know what he's making a year but I guarantee you it is a hell of a lot more that 4 times what I'm making. So, boo-fucking-hoo.

Now, look, maybe your method of figuring out Anthonys contract differs from mine, but you know his contract from a conglomerate like CBS desperate to stop the bleeding at Free FM and a contract for being an afterthought on XM ain't the same fucking ball park. It ain't the same league. It ain't even the same fucking sport. :wink:


To me it sounds backwards, it would have been CBS who absorbed the contracts.

I doubt XM is paying them in the 5 mil a piece ballpark right now.

We didn't buy a place in west orange because the taxes were 12k. The rates there were just ridiculous.

I dunno about that. Pretty sure Mad Dog's making bank, too, and in the grand scheme of things, $5 mil/ each for O&A, plus maybe $750k-1m /yr for Jimmy sounds like it'd be in the right ballpark for SIRI. O&A are the flagship show of an exclusive talk station on a nat'l platform. Bubba the Love Sponge was quoted in this article in Jan. (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/sirius-xm-slashing-salaries-top-68261) saying SIRI was slashing talent salaries, but he was like third or fourth banana on Stern's channel (behind Stern, Stern aftershow & Stern Replay), so letting him walk wasn't a huge deal for them.

If SIRI loses O&A, they lose a whole exclusive channel (unless they give it to Jason Ellis). I think Op's mentioned they took a hit in one of their last negotiations "for the good of the team", but I don't know how big a hit that might've been.

My girl just had an interview w/ Seton Hall, and when we looked at property costs down there we looked at each other and said "unless they pay you double AND hire me and pay me double, there ain't no way we're moving there."

I think it's more in the 2.5/3 mil range now. The last two deals, '08 and '10 both involved pay cuts.

Stop being crabs in a pot. Anyway, Louis Black explained that Ant has expensive taste in ball caps.

You must love politicians then.

Only when "other people" bitch incessantly about how much they hate paying their taxes. I'm sure lots of people listen to Ant and nod their heads thinking "Yeah, why should you have to pay for being successful, for achieving the American Dream" when he's actually getting away with paying proportionately less than they do.

When Ant talks politics I consider him a political activist, and his spoutings should be fact-checked. And considering he discusses his wealth quite frequently on-air during an international radio show, his money is hardly a taboo topic.

Fact checked? Everything they(OnA) have to say is personal opinion based on ignorance. They guys are uneducated morons who frequently pass of their uninformed opinions as fact.

This is a cop-out response.

100% this. Same reason Dittoheads and Fox News gets quoted as facts by the unwashed masses.
